Please help a brain surgery patient
Donation protected
Hi my name is Kelsi and I have been an epileptic for 16 years-- that's more than half of my life. Now that I am an adult, my seizures have really started affecting my life making it difficult for me to find good work and just live a regular life. I have circulated through a few part-time jobs, but even with the law that protects discriminating disabled people, you can tell I am still a liability and my bosses often tip toe around me.

Finally, this past year I had two different surgeries that were meant to help with my condition. One was meant to pinpoint exactly where my seizures were coming from and the other was meant as a start towards hopefully fixing the problem. While this is good news, it has caused a lot of problems in my personal life.
Because they were brain surgeries, the recovery time was long. In total, I was out of work for 12 weeks. And not only was I not working, but my disability money did not come through. I used up all my savings and now I am on my last leg. I do have health insurance, so I was able to afford the surgeries themselves, but now I am hardly able to afford rent or groceries.

I am not one who normally asks for handouts, but I am getting desperate. I have been searching and searching for another job, but to no avail. However, I will continue to look, but in the meantime, I need some means of support. So if anyone is willing to help out, I would be SO grateful! God bless!!
